Mock Trial Courtroom Journalist

The Courtroom Journalist Contest allows students to experience a courtroom setting from the perspective of a news reporter and learn about the American legal system from actual judges and attorneys. Through the voice of a newspaper reporter reporting on a criminal case, students observe and report on their schools mock trials.

Peter Funt (Mock Trial Journalist judge) will be giving a two day workshop (Dates TBD) from 9am - noon. We highly encourage this training prior to the competition. Would you be interested in teaching this workshop?
